Did complete engine on my Ford focus 2007 1.6 z6 engine and car only swinging

AND AFRICAN CAR (CLUE 1, SWINGING WORD FOR CRANKING)
the books and parts and wiring on cars are not the same world wide
so we are forced to guess the #1 top, fact, country???? why?
A FULL ENGINE SwAP INSTALL.(REBUILD)
1.6L (z6 is hard to find googled ,Impossible to learn)
THERE IS ALSO A 1.6l TDI, DIESEL BUT HAS A FORD ENGINE NAME FOR THAT.
so what fuel is this, my guess PETROL


well 2nd is spark
first is:
if engine is good and compression test pass, it may be good engine.
CAM TIMED CORRECT, COMPRESSION 150PSI UP, NOT 50.

then comes spark all 4 cylinders must have spark (tested)
so coil packs, not connected
or CKP OR CMP SENSORS UNPLUGGED OR WRECKED AT INSTALL. ALL ENGINE HARNESS CABLES MUST BE FULLY CONNECTED,.for sure parks, injectors and all sensor.s.


LAST IS FUEL (PRESSURE AT SPEC. CRANKED
OR T HIS?????

2007 Ford Focus 1.6 16V Zetec (man. 5) (model for Europe )??????? guessing this, , engine choices 2007 , call Gen2, Focus MK2 Europe.


see how 1.6l means so little and real names work so much better?
For the South African market, the 1.6L BZ inline-four engine was used in their Mk2
to get help on any engine problem learn what it there first
the real name and then tell it.
the sure are not the same.

.my ford focus diesel 1.8 tdci 2009 ran perfectly. One morning it refused to start. Sprayed easy start thro intake manifold, still won't start. Checked fuses ok What could possibly be the problem

check battery with a load tester
diesel engines have to spin fast when starting
using easy start on a diesel is a sure way to destroy the engine
run the fault codes

2007 ford focus emission light on rough idol

The information below was complied by me, it explains what causes the check engine light to come on and the process of finding the cause.

When the Check Engine light is turned on the computer control unit (called the PCM) has sensed a fault in the electronic controls of the engine and/or the emission system. When this happens you will seldom feel the car engine run any different. There are about 200 possible faults that turn the Check Engine light on, to know what has developed a problem you must have the system tested, this is called an OBD2 fault code test, Kragen and Autozone parts stores do this testing for free.

Diesel engine turns over but takes ages to start, once started seems to be ok, then battery light comes on.

theres many potential faults but most likely is faulty heater plugs or relay UNLESS its direct injection. battery light is most likely due to a faulty alternator. if the engine turns over slowly then both the battery and alternator may be to blame.
